Call for speakers

In addition to multiple dates and new locations, A Day with Shopify will also include new speakers. We’re actively looking for speakers who want to share their advice, insights, and successes with other Shopify Partners.

This is an opportunity to position yourself as a leader within the ecosystem, and to share your invaluable experience with your peers.

We’re looking for a wide array of talks that touch on different aspects of web design, development, and marketing. Topics could include growth, marketing, pitching, account and client management, or anything that would be of value to others in your industry.

These 30-minute presentations will take place on stage at A Day with Shopify events. They should include actionable advice, knowledge sharing, or inspiration, and benefit your wider peer group (no self-promotion please).

Not a big talker? Consider doing a lightning talk: a five-minute, lightning quick presentation that covers a tip or trick of the trade.

If you’d like to speak or do a lightning talk at any A Day with Shopify event, or you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities, fill out the application form linked below. If you have questions on speaking opportunities, please contact adws[at]shopify[dot]com.
